Extract text from H5P files
To convert your H5P file to another format, you need H5P or other Web software.
To convert other file formats to the "Interactive Content Package" file type, you need software like H5P or a similar tool.
The .h5p file extension represents an HTML5 Package, a compressed archive format used to bundle interactive web content like quizzes, presentations, games, and e-learning modules. While these files are technically standard ZIP archives containing JSON metadata, Javascript libraries, and media assets (images, video, audio), they are designed to be treated as opaque "black boxes" by the operating system.
Users typically encounter friction because .h5p files cannot be opened natively on Windows or macOS; they require a specific runtime environment, such as a Learning Management System (LMS) like Moodle, WordPress, or Drupal with the H5P plugin installed. This creates a significant barrier for users who need to view content offline, extract embedded videos, or archive the material as a static document.
For extraction purposes, the most pragmatic workaround is to simply rename the file extension from .h5p to zip, allowing you to open it with any archive manager and recover source media. For viewing and editing without an LMS, users should convert the package to a standalone HTML file using the open-source tool Lumi, or convert it to SCORM for broader LMS compatibility. Static archiving is best achieved by opening the content in a viewer and printing to PDF, though all interactivity will be lost.
Convert.Guru analyzes your H5P file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PDF, HTML, ZIP, H5, MP4, PPTX, JSON, JPG, DOCX, PNG, CRDOWNLOAD, SPV and PPT files.
If you want to convert H5P file to MP4, PDF, HTML, ZIP, PPT, HTM, CSS, JS, PHP, ASP, ASPX or JSP, you can use H5P or similar software from the "Interactive E-Learning Content" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RSS, CSS, CGI, SITEMAP, PL, WEBMANIFEST, JSON, JS, XML, HTML, ICO or HTM files to H5P, try H5P or another comparable tool in the "Interactive E-Learning Content" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our H5P converter.
